She leveraged Personette’s network to arrange preferred lending relationships to insure timely closings, and mentored and coached agents with their day-to-day challenges in transitioning pre-sales to closed contracts. Laurie also helped developers plan and launch new developments during the recession and was arguably been the most difficult residential real estate market in the recent history. It is her commitment to delivering results to clients that earned her reputation as a trusted client partner throughout her career. And Laurie’s breadth of marketing and management experience across multiple categories has helped Personette’s expansion of its service offerings to the Destination and niche Community developments.

And as Edith Personette’s eldest daughter, Laurie and Thomsen & Null began regularly working with Personette and many of its clients in high-rise, mid-rise and garden condominiums and branded residences to deliver marketing programs, including W Dallas Residences in 2004. Laurie now draws on her experience across diverse industries and multiple channels to provide tangible solutions to her real estate clients full time.
